Graduation is a milestone event, celebrating years of hard work and achievement. As schools prepare for this occasion it’s important to have an entry management plan with reliable graduation tickets in place. This ensures a smooth, enjoyable ceremony for everyone. This guide explores different ticketing options and provides step-by-step details on how to create and scan tickets.
Types of Graduation Tickets
When it comes to graduation tickets, flexibility is key. Depending on venue size and the number of attendees, schools can choose from several ticket types:
Unlimited Tickets:
Best for online ceremonies or when space isn’t an issue. This option allows graduates to invite as many guests as they wish.
Limited Tickets Per Family:
Most common for in-person events with space constraints. Each graduate gets a set number of tickets to distribute among family and friends.
VIP Tickets:
Special tickets for VIP guests, like school donors or special speakers. These can include reserved seating, parking, or other perks.
